its going to depend on wheel width. i assume you are using the 15x7's?

my 15x7 +40 clear 225/50's at full lock and stick out just a little past the fender. +40 might clear the 235/60 but you could just play it safe and grab the +35. they will stick out farther but we are only talking about a 5mm difference so you probably wont even be able to tell just by looking

it doesnt matter, either size, they'll still rub. be prepared to jack the suspension up high and maybe do some cutting on the front bumper. I had the MT's on stock LS webs. I imagine with a lower offsett wheel, it may rub even worst due to more of the tire having to cross pass the bumper when turning (less tucking). someone could correct me on that.

Either way you decide to go please post pics. I love seeing these tires. My thought is go with the 40, you can always add spacers if needed

I have some 15x6.5" wheels and I dont even know what the offset is and I run 235/60/15's. You can check out the link in my signature and see some pics of it. I do not have a lot of rubbing but I do have it full raised in the front.

good info, I am interested in running a 255/50 M/T Radial under a Callos Front End, anyone know what kind of offset I should be looking at for something like this? I dont think I will have any issues with the tires hitting the fender/bumper on turns with that front end.
